How to Choose the Best Nutritional Supplements ?

With a background in education, I am naturally geared toward helping people become more skilled at doing things, whether it be writing a better essay or knowing how to evaluate something in order to make a decision. One of my passions is teaching people how to have better health through nutritional supplementation, so the purpose of this article is to share with my audience some specific insights about how they can evaluate their supplement choices and then find high-quality supplements to purchase for their personal consumption.

At a recent Health and Wellness Conference, I was astounded to learn that less than 50% of the information related to health found on the Internet is accurate. This statistic came from an in-depth audit of online health-related information conducted by M.I.T.

This means that more than HALF of the information someone searching online for specific health-related information is not right! Because more and more people are going online to find information these days about health-related issues, it is critical that they become skilled at knowing how to evaluate the information they find.

Here are some specific questions anyone looking for dietary supplements MUST ask before making a buying decision (both online AND offline):

1. Has the company selling the supplements documented the potency of their products and can you, the consumer, see this documentation before making a purchase?
2. Who is manufacturing the products? Where are the facilities located?
3. Does the company have scientific validation for the efficacy of the products and can you, the consumer, see those studies BEFORE you make a purchase?
4. Does the company have a 100% money back guarantee on all of its products even if the bottles are empty at the time of the return?
5. Is the company trustworthy, not only with you, the consumer's, hard-earned money but more importantly, with your precious health?
6. Are there a variety of cross-checkable testimonies from real consumers of these products?
7. When you call the company, are you able to speak with a live person who lives here in the United States and has first-hand experience with the products you are considering purchasing?
8. Are MANY (not just one or two) medical professionals affiliated with these products?
9. If you wanted to, could you visit the actual laboratory and/or manufacturing facility where these products are produced?

This list may seem extensive, but with the growing knowledge and understanding of preventative approaches to health care, it is absolutely critical that consumers take control of their decisions and look for the BEST options out there. They are available, and are well-worth the extra time it may take to find.

When it comes to your beautiful body and precious health, you must be willing to ask the hard questions and feel 100% confident that what you are buying is made from top-quality ingredients by a company that has integrity and your best health in mind. It IS possible to find high-quality nutritional supplements online as well as offline; you just need to be willing to do your homework first!
